The Green Card for Ag Safety is a self-paced online short course, designed to give a broad overview of farming and to take the repetition out of the induction process for farmers.
Modules include:
- Recognise and report hazards in the workplace

- Follow workplace procedures for dealing with accidents, fire and emergencies
- Recognise risks for people and animals
- Employee responsibilities about work health and safety legislation

- Hazardous substances and chemical handling
- Noise
- Assess risks associated with manual handling
- Work health and safety information
- Raise work health and safety issues with designated personnel
- Contribute to a safe workplace
Please note that this course is generic and does not consider individual farm environments. We recommend employers to also complete a site induction with their workers.
Participants will receive a Green Card certificate upon completion, which is valid for 3 years.
